What's the opportunity?
dLocal (NASDAQ: DLO) is the payments platform connecting global merchants with billions of emerging-market consumers. We run mission-critical infrastructure across LatAm, Africa, and Asia, at volumes and regulatory complexity that leave
no margin for unreliable delivery . Our engineering organization ships to production many times a day and is running one of the most ambitious AI-assisted engineering transformations in fintech. Most companies are learning the hard way that giving engineers AI tools and hoping for the best produces
more code, not better software .
Deployment frequency rises; change failure rate rises with it. Rollbacks become routine. Codebases drift out of architectural consistency as teams lean on different assistants with different defaults. The productivity win gets consumed by rework, incidents, and technical debt. We are not running that experiment. We believe the platform is the distribution layer for AI inside an engineering organization, and that
effective productivity
— shipping faster without shipping more defects — is only achievable when standardization, reliability, and AI adoption are owned by
one leader
with the mandate and seniority to drive change across the org. That's the opportunity. You will own how dLocal builds and ships software — the platform, the paved roads, the reliability posture, and the way AI is embedded into the engineering workflow — so that every engineer at dLocal is
demonstrably more productive
